Hello,

I am currently trying to update my development port of sysutils/lcdproc. I am using a locally managed port named Custom/lcdproc-devel for this (you can get it from http://mdolze.gmxhome.de/files/lcdproc-devel.tgz).

If I try to configure it, I get this:

lcdproc-devel> make configure
===>  Found saved configuration for lcdproc-devel-20071024
===>  Extracting for lcdproc-devel-20080805

Stop in /tmp/lcdproc-devel.

This is strange to me as AC_DEFINE is be a very basic thing. After some fiddling around with bsd.*.mk files I found that

make ACLOCAL_ARGS="" configure

works fine. By default ACLOCAL_ARGS is set to '--acdir=/usr/local/share/aclocal-19'. I guess that this contains some FreeBSD specific macros. But how does it interfere with my port?

Regards
Markus
